Specification 'of Letters Patent.

Patented July 29, 1913;

Application filed March 1, I9 is. Serial No. 751,462.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, CARL R. M. HANSEN, a subject of the King of Denmark,but now residing at Cynwyd, in the county of Montgomery and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to a-type of bottle which has become known asnon-refillable, but in this instance, it relates more particularly to aprotective bottle, for containing liquors or beverages put up undertrade marks or names; and to which end my pres ent inventionconsist-s ofa protective type of such a bottle, co-nsisting'of a bottle properhaving an irregular-shaped neck portion integrally extended into atubular mouth portion for a stopper, and interposed between bothintegral portions of said neck is arranged an approximatelyelliptical-shaped opening for introducing interiorly an irregular-shapedobstruction device so as to occupy a position cross-wise of theirregularshaped portion of said neck and to extend into thetubular-portion thereof, and said device having exteriorly a ring-liketerminal formation to form a sealing closure of the neck about theinternal obstruction device therein, and also to provide a means forapplication of a trade mark or name to or in the same for designatingmaker as Well as internal contents of such a'bottle.

The nature, scope and characteristic features of my present inventionwill be more fully understood from the following description taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in whichFigure 1, is a vertical central sectional view, partly in elevation of abroken away portion of a bottle neck, to disclose main features of mysaid invention. Fig. 2, is a transverse sectional view on the line aaaof Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows of said figure; andFig. 3, is a side elevational view of the neck-portion of the bottle,showing the approximate shape of the opening for inserting theirregularshaped obstruction device, as arranged interiorly in the bottleneck.

Referring to the drawings a, is the bottle proper, provided with anirregular-shaped neck portion a The lower portion of said neckinteriorly is arranged tapering, as illustrated in Fig. 1, so as to seata glass ball-valve b, therein, when the bottle is caused to occupy avertical position, but at the same time the ball is movable from saidseat to allow of free discharge then of contents around an obstructiondevice placed cross-wise of the neck, as more fully hereinafterexplained.

c, is the upper tubular neck-section having a mouth-portion 0 for thereception of an ordinary stopper 0 as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3. Thesaid portion 0, is formed integral with the irregular-shaped portion cof the bottom proper, and in one part is provided with a substantiallyellipticalshaped opening 0 of the character illustrated in Fig. 3, forinserting the irregularshaped obstruction device cl, into the neckcross-wise thereof, and so that a portion of the said device extendsvertically into the tubular portion of said neck. The said device (Z, isprovided with a gasketed seatingring d for holding the same firmly inoperative position, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1. In front andresting against the outer side of said seating-ring al is inserted inthe recessed wall 0*, of the opening 0 a plate e, which is cemented tothe recessed Wall 0*, of the said opening 0 to secure the same againstremoval. On this plate 6, in shape corresponding with the shape of thesaid opening 0 may be blown in or otherwise applied, the trade name ormark of the contents of the bottle and maker of the preparation ordecoction'contained in said bottle.

It will be seen from the drawings that any attempt at refilling of saidprotective bottle will be diflicult, and that as it is arranged suchattempt will destroy same so that further possibility of refilling ofthe said bottle, is prevented.

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1s:

A non-refillable bottle having a tubular neck, terminating in arelatively enlarged portion, a side opening in said enlarged portion, adisk larger than the tubular neck insertible through said opening, anannular projection on said disk, said projection extending into saidtubular neck, a channel In witness whereof, I have hereunto set formedat the juncture of said disk and said 3 my signature in the presence ofthe two projection, said tubular neck extending subscribing witnesses.partly into said enlarged portion thereby to CARL R. M. HANSEN.

5 provide a tortuous passage between said neck and said channel andmeans for securing said disk in place.

Witnesses:

TrroMAs M. SMITH, HELEN F. MILLEn.
